I completely disagree. If anything, signing Drew Kemp brings in a far better calibre of rider for where the Comets are at right now. For a start, Kemp doesn't come with a history of not turning up or pulling out at the eleventh hour. Cook has had chance after chance at various tracks, and the unpredictability just drains a team. Workington are completely correct in wanting to give the paying public a reliable, committed 1-to-7 on the track each week. Kemp works hard, and he puts the laps in. Reliability and commitment is far better than sporadic talent in a team sport. This is definitely not a write-off.

Rubbish! They both had 8pt+av last last except Kemp rode in all the fixtures and Cook threw in the Towel after 8 matches.Kemp is a decent replacement and will turn up every week.

Fifa are ar**holes, you'd think they'd have put England on a later slot knowing Oxford are riding....

At least Kemp won't just turn up when he feels like it.

Under the circumstances kemp is a fantastic signing imo.

Thought this thread was going to be about Craig Cook!

Deanno is the kind of guy that the powers that be should be listening to, but i suspect he says it as it is, something the BSPL frowns upon as they prefer to be the secret society rather than what they should be which is the Promoters of this sport which has been allowed to run down for as long as i can remember.

I hope Craig is ok, sport comes second to mental health.

I filmed for Bob Tasker/GRT Media every week for a season at Derwent Park and remember recording some great meetings. I also went over with Bob the season before to do the interviews for the DVD's and watching Simon Stead and Carl Stonehewer going up high on the 3rd and 4th bends, was a sight to behold.

Disagree,you get the nod over klindt

Awful from Oxford, what on earth was that track all about? Tracks been poor all season for me. Without Riss we have no second heat leader, Rowe is barely contributing 3rd heat leader scores, meaning McDiarmid is riding out of position. Fair play to Glasgow, a deserved victory, a great night for Hodder but any home team should not be letting an away reserve averaging under 3 to go unbeaten.

Cook wouldn't have won them the league either. Good signing who won't let the team down unlike his predecessor.

Yes to the above, but he is nowhere near the standard required to replace Cook, anyone with a knowledge of speedway will tell you that. You've replaced a number one with a 2nd/3rd heatleader at best

The odds for a Tigers/Croatia double must be sky high. Tigers lucky to hit 30.

Disgracebook? Horrible place fake friends

Surely Glasgow have to look at replacing the 2 reserves🌝

No, he definitely said 1H1A is not enough, like most of the riders and a number of the managers/promoters and the vast majority of the fans... that still attend.

The sport as a whole is going through the motions. No direction, same old non jeopardy meeting after meeting. It’s sad to see it being ground down to the state it is now in.

Did anyone hear Chris Harris on BSN, saying if they don't consider 2 home and 2 away, he may retire

Not Poole but some tracks won’t run if the all night gas station down the road is open 😉

Comfortable Oxford win IMO. Hopefully some good speedway.

What was the reason for all of the other Wednesday's they've not ridden? Didn't want to run against Bake Off? 😜

Pleased we have managed to secure a really solid rider at championship level to replace Craig. Can have mechanical issues at times and be a little guilty on occasions of retiring prematurely but he has a bit of class when he is in the mood. Looking forward to seeing him round Northside a track he goes well at.

Am expecting another dust bowl and whilst I don’t care for the World Cup, there is no reason why injury’s aside, the meeting cannot be completed well with 90 mins, Frank Ebdon could have done that and you would still have time to get home if you lived within five miles.

Kemp is a really good signing, suits our track for sure. He can be very fast on his day. Scored 12 points last season at Northside from the No.1 position. Glad he's been snapped up and in the side for this weekend. Averaged 8.57 when riding in the No.1 position last season, so obviously has the ability, he kicked on massively over the last 2 seasons. I would move Kemp to No.5 and have Batchelor ride at No.3 with Tate, but that's just my opinion.

It appears some comets " fans " want a superstar signing when none are available and on what could be a limited budget 🤔 imo kemp is a good signing, could be a bit like batch at times, but this year batch has done well for the Comets

Hearing Charles Wright is ready to make his comeback, can he jump straight back in for Klindt, not sure what rules are with these multi 28 day rules

Clueless as usual.

What a shame. I wonder if this is the end for him now. He had decided to quit last season prior to Bainesy talking him into another go. He's still a top rider. Going off his performances this season so far, he would've been one of the best number 1s in the league if his head was in the right spot. Hope he gets himself in a good place soon.

3 x Lynn 2 x Northampton Who on earth came up with the fixture list 🤷‍♂️

Sorry sorry, you're right. Wasn't paying enough attention!

Well done Glasgow, as always Oxford make it a slick dust bowl and it backfired on them.

Draw and live updates for SGP3 Final, Wrocław, 19.06.2026, start time 1900 CET, 6pm UK time. Remember - there is NO TV coverage and therefore there are NO streams of this meeting. https://live.baansportfansite.nl/event/1128/fim-sgp3-world-championship-final-wroclaw.html

That's nothing Iain, I believe in 1988 we faced Kings Lynn home and away 14 times! Mind you, i believe there was 10 teams in the British League that year.

I’ve taken out the subscription on the Swedish league this year and on a few occasions he has properly missed the start completely. Like it’s a psychological thing. If Ipswich view him as a long term investment then they should try to help him. Gating is something that can be learned surely. He can clearly ride the bike but it’s no good if you a few bike lengths down by the backstraigh each race.

The World Cup Groups and Fixtures were announced on December 6th 2025.

Fake as well- too many toe-rags around !! Follow what’s put on this forum by myself and Stewmac regarding TV/ streams and PPV and you won’t go far wrong.

Interestingly, Chris Holder and Jan Kvech are listed among the 8 Admins of the Live Speedway page, via Fakebook Profiles. Maybe they are fake pages also. Rabbit holes getting too deep for me, I'll leave it there.

he wont take four with Jenkins at two.

Quite remarkable they are going up against Englands first World Cup match. Will there be a crowd or a small gathering?

No shock this is it ? Rode well too when he did bother to turn up this season Andrew gave him a second chance or maybe a 5th chance but he did not take it.

Yes these kind of pages are all fake. Happens alot on Facebook. Saldy alot of people fall for this.

And on and on the circus goes.. Still.. Let's blame the landlords and developers...

The OP is updated constantly by yours truly and shows every Swedish match Premier are showing.

But our tracks also don't cause as many serious injuries as Poland ad the other countries do

And this exact topic is exactly why this forum is going down the pan. Surely mods can delete this rubbish and trying and make speedway have a little ounce of respect. Imagine if you were knew to speedway and this forum or even posting on this forum loads to discuss and you see a couple of people just insulting and arguing over non speedway related stuff. Surely mods can get some control over this and all ow this site half a chance to get back to being a proper forum of speedway discussion.

Tonight sees the return of Josh 'Edinburgh is the only Championship team I'll ever ride for' Pickering... in Scunthorpe colours 🤔

Very pleased with this, a month at reserve for Jenkins to rediscover some confidence. If he impresses, then Fredriksen may be in trouble.

Klindt has taken the p""s for years now, why anyone bothers signing him is a mystery.
